Will S.C.I.E.N.C.E. be apart of Star Command Galaxies? What I mean is will we be able to access S.C.I.E.N.C.E. without fully exiting the game. Or will they end up being two separate programs such as it were in Alpha 1?

Pretty sure it's going to be to separate programs; hopefully it makes a return with Alpha 5!

All I know is this Lo-Pan character comes out of nowhere...while his buddies are flying around on wires cuttin' everybody to shreds and he just stands there, waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him with light coming out of his mouth?

We've actually played with it both ways and each has benefits and drawbacks. Not saying for sure this is what we'll do, but the current in-house version has it all as one package where you can swap between game and SCIENCE via the main menu. If we were to go with this, we'd likely have a separate package that would be set up for only SCIENCE (for those that would want SCIENCE and not SC:G).

As of right now, no it does not. I can't speak for anyone after the Alpha, but as of now if you bought Galaxies you will have S.C.I.E.N.C.E. as they release it.

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. was removed from the download package because the program wasn't very user-friendly/intuitive. I hope to see it return with Alpha 5, but I don't know.

The idea is that by release S.C.I.E.N.C.E. will be a fully realized and fleshed out experience!
